A New Collection of Long Out-of-Print Stories From One of the Greatest Fantasists of the Twentieth Century

Avram Davidson, who died in 1993, was widely regarded as one of the most outstanding authors of short fantasy fiction in our time. This collection comprises his distinctive historical fantasies-tales of strange Mitteleuropas, of magic in Victorian England and on the American frontier. Here are "The Lineaments of Gratified Desire," "Traveller from an Antique Land," and "What Strange Stars and Skies"; here are dragons, cameras, and "The Singular Incident of the Dog on the Beach." Witty, whimsical, dark, and strange, these tales of times and places that almost were will leave even the most jaded readers amazed. No one has ever written like Avram Davidson, before or since.

Industry Reviews

"The rediscovery of Avram Davidson is a true resurrection." --Guy Davenport, "Harper's" "Wonderfully eclectic and literate...A wonderful cross-section of one of the field's most undeservedly obscure geniuses." --"Publishers Weekly" "Davidson was beyond question one of the unjustly neglected writers of the 20th century, an author of immense talent." --Gene Wolfe
